This is an article about circulation in animals. For transport in plants, see Vascular tissue. For the band, see Circulatory System.

A circulatory system (cardiovascular system in biology classes) is an organ system that moves substances to and from cells; it can also help stabilize body temperature and pH (part of homeostasis). There are three types of circulatory systems (from simplest to most complex): no circulatory system, open circulatory system, and closed circulatory system.
